Description for What is Quantum Information?
hardcover. Combining physics and philosophy, this interdisciplinary examination of quantum information science provides an up-to-date examination of developments in this field. Editor(s): Lombardi, Olimpia; Fortin, Sebastian. Num Pages: 276 pages, 7 b/w illus. 7 tables. BIC Classification: PDX. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). .
Combining physics and philosophy, this is a uniquely interdisciplinary examination of quantum information science which provides an up-to-date examination of developments in this field. The authors provide coherent definitions and theories of information, taking clearly defined approaches to considering information in connection with quantum mechanics, probability, and correlations. Concepts addressed include entanglement of quantum states, the relation of quantum correlations to quantum information, and the meaning of the informational approach for the foundations of quantum mechanics. Furthermore, the mathematical concept of information in the communicational context, and the notion of pragmatic information are considered. Suitable as both a discussion of ... Read more
